July 14, 2025: Fast-fashion on demand faced a harsh reality as Bengaluru-based startup Blip announced its closure after struggling to sustain operations. The company, which promised to deliver fashion products within 30 minutes, cited a lack of sufficient capital and execution hurdles as the main reasons for shutting down.
Founded in 2024 by Ansh Agarwal and Sarvesh Kedia, Blip launched its app in October the same year. It featured 10 proprietary fashion brands and offered over 25,000 products across select areas in Bengaluru. Despite a promising concept aimed at transforming how consumers shop for apparel, the startup found it difficult to maintain momentum.

In a LinkedIn post, co-founder Ansh Agarwal explained that limited funding and unique business challenges slowed down their market entry and growth. “Bootstrapping the startup with restricted capital made it difficult to compete effectively,” Agarwal said. Additionally, Blip’s innovative approach required more time to convince investors and partners, delaying its go-to-market plans.
Ultimately, the financial strain and operational delays forced the founders to make the tough decision to close the company. The fast fashion brand’s shutdown adds to a growing list of Indian startups that have recently struggled due to funding shortages and tough market conditions.
